"We never met with any composition so completely and beautifully simple both in sentiment and style, which at the same time interested us so strongly by the naïveté of its descriptions, sometimes heightened by the most delicate touches of humour and pathos; by the heart that pervades the narrative, and the air of reality which is thrown over the characters."

Eclectic Rev. Aug. 1815.

Duties of a Wife, a Mother, and a Mistress of a Family. By Mrs. TAY-
LOR, of ONGAR. Seventh Edition. Handsomely printed in foolscap 8vo.
with a beautiful frontispiece, 5s. bds.

"The duties of a wife, a mother, and a mistress of a family, are admirably pourtrayed and most successfully urged in this little volume. It is a book that will be placed in the hands of those who are to fill those enviable situations, with the utmost advantage. The short religious portion at the conclusion is warm, affectionate, and just, but not tinged with the slightest spirit of fanaticism." British Critic. May, 1815.

RACHEL: a TALE. With a beautiful frontispiece, Handsomely printed in foolscap 8vo. price 5s. boards.

"We were at a loss under what head to class this excellent little piece, and had some thoughts at first of giving it a place under the head of romance; but upon second consideration the book appeared to be too good for such an allotment; and not knowing well how to announce it, we have mentioned it here as admirably calculated for female education. The story is simple, but forcibly instructive, and exhibits, with great life, the contrast between affected sentiment and the sensibility of nature. There are also many valuable remarks scattered throughout, on the necessity of cultivating the art of pleasing, no less than of adhering firmly to the simplicity and candour of truth."

readers with the arguments of a Divine, and the affection of a
Parent,"
Gent. Mag, Dec, 1816.
